Is Corbin Carroll Taiwanese? Exploring Diamondbacks phenom's maternal ethnicity

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll takes pride in his biracial roots. His father Brant is a white medical professional who grew up in Seattle, while his mother is Taiwanese.

Corbin's mother, Pey-Lin moved to Louisiana from Taiwan with her parents when she was a child.

Speaking about his maternal lineage, Corbin once told the Athletic:

“My mom’s parents both being from Taiwan, they learned English just to communicate with me and my sister. They’d come twice a year for maybe a total of two months, and their food is amazing — they own restaurants in Louisiana.

"And then we went to Taiwan once when I was like 13, and that was pretty eye-opening to sort of see all my mom’s relatives and where they were from and how they experienced life out there.”
